Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
You done good! So the hood it looks like you painted those scoops black more than they came. Did you just paint that yourself or did you bring it in somewhere? Or is is some sweet fibre wrap?

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
What is done to the front hood covers up by the windshield? Mine are the color of the car, but the spoiler, front lip, and side vents are black stock. I like the side lower sills, but not sure if it would make the car too hard for us short fat people to get in and out of.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
The front access panels are not OEM pieces, they are carbon fiber with a gloss coat (unknown who made them), they each have 2 of the little vortex generators on them, I'm sure they are just for looks. I actually sold my stock panels for more than I found these CF ones for. Side scoops are also glossy CF.
However, the side sills and wing are both a satin black. It would be nice to get carbon parts but they are crazy expensive for those items. I just lucked out and found the side scoops and access panels for cheap.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Wow, yeah, it looks 1000x better now. I haven't really been a fan of these baby Lotii, but that second pic could change my mind. Hmmmm.

Re: 2007 Lotus Exige S
Clam off, was actually pretty fun, took about 3 hours. While it's off, I'm removing the last of the emissions stuff. I've had the blockoff plates for awhile but never got around to installing them because it was hard to reach.
Also getting the paint fixed on the rear clam, body should be should be good as new after this. I'll get a pic of the rear in the light tomorrow, it looks pretty sweet.
